Hi, I found this site this evening. I found my breast lump over 2 weeks ago and I am awaiting the core biopsy results. I was told that the lump looks like cancer under ultrasound so am expecting the worst and go for my results on Monday. I cant eat properly or sleep hence this very late message. My lovely partner died suddenly of a brain haemmorrage 6 months ago and i feel so lonely at the moment. I have told 3 of my closest friends but am keeping the info from my adult children until I know a proper diagnosis.
The evenings are the worst and my daughter, who lives with me keeps asking me whats wrong! I dont want to hurt them with this news and am scared of the future.
I just wanted to let someone who understands know . Thanks
Hi Sue,
We’re both in the same boat, & the waiting is the hardest!! My daughter is 24 & like you I wasn’t going to tell her until I had all the info, but there not stupid, your daughter must be close to you to pick up on all your signals, you need support, I have told my daughter, I had to she knew & was jumping to all the wrong conclusions!! We have cried together, hugged each other, it helps, she’d want to know, that’s what my daughter said!!
Our son who is 14 doesn’t know, not yet, & that is going to be so difficult as we have been through this once already with my husband, it’s so unfair that it has effected us already but then has to come back again.
But I’m here, going through the same difficult time as you so any time you need to talk, I’ll be here!! You can private message too (not sue if that’s instant???)
Stay strong & remember that you’ve moved quickly, & once you know your results they will move quickly too, & they can do amazing things these days, big hugssss
